What starts out as an alibi turns into a night of the hottest passion that neither will forget. When Emma is in danger Kelly John puts is life and heart on the line to save her.

WOW. The Beach Alibi is another steamy read from the SG-5 files. You will find yourself all worked up with this book. This story has the intrigue and sizzle that I love in Alison Kent's books. Will be waiting anxiously for the next book to come out.

Wheww!!! Is it hot in here or is it just the book? May I just say that this book is SMOKIN'! For a "little book" (only 120 pages or so), it packs a sensual punch. I've not read the other books in the series, but The Beach Alibi allows itself to stand alone while bringing you up-to-date on the other stories.

Kelly John Beach-obviously the title character- is the stuff of dreams. Flawed, handsome, smart and sexy what woman wouldn't lust after him? Emma Webster, his female conterpart has no such compunction. This is a woman who we all should admire *g*. She is smart, beautiful, principled and not afraid to embrace her sensuality to help out her man!

The plot is plausable, kind of, but hey, let's face it, at this point we all know that plot is the last thing on any of our minds. While we are on the subject of that, OMG where is THAT theater? Pretty much for that scene alone, the book was worth the shipping charge.

Make your own decision, after all, it is your money being spent. But if you ask me?, yeah, go get it. Read it. Then take a cold shower. Enjoy.

This has been my favorite episode to date for many different reasons. This is not to say that the other three stories in Ms. Kent's SG-5 series aren't any good. On the contrary they have all been winners. Kelly John was just such a sensual character as well as a battle harden man that you can't help but find him yummy.

This was a fast readd (again only 116 pages long) so Ms. Kent has packed a lot into very little. The relationship between Emma and Kelly John (K.J.) as a result of the short length of the story is fast and hot. So what's my point you ask? Don't expect this story to be as detailed as a full length story. If you come to this book realizing this you will find that this story is a perfect addition to this on going storyline.

Spectra IT is still at it and the person that had helped Tripp in the "Shaughnessey Accord" is back only he is not helping the Smithson group. Kelly John has been caught in a compromising situation so the group scrambles to make things right. Unfortunatly it'a to late and the one woman that has finally helped Kelly John find the light in his life again is captured. Kelly John now must find a way to save Emma without loosing the one thing he thought he'd never find again...his heart. Can he be the hero that she needs?

I love how Ms. Kent has created this series. Each book is like an episode that helps to tell the story that begun with "The Bane Affaire." I can hardly wait to see what will happen next in the "Mackenzie Artifact." Ms. Kent has a winner and I highly recommend this author and her series.

I must have missed something with this book - most likely a plausible plot.

Agent Kelly John Beach is a covert operative assigned to retrieve some diamonds and prove that a diamond broker is really a front for a consortium of bad guys, Spectra IT (apparently kind of like KAOS from Get Smart).

When he neglects to notice a hidden camera, he knows he is caught, and suddenly needs an alibi. Enter secretary Emma Webster, who has had a secret crush on him since day one. She agrees to be his alibi, and when they hook up for their date, they have sex then profess their love for each other for the next 80 pages.

Of course, the story is just over 100, so it leaves little time for a plot, until Emma is grabbed by the bad guys, and Kelly John has to rush in to save her. Yes, there is a lot of hot sensual scenes, but there is little to redeem this trite storyline.

Alison Kent has penned yet another winner with The Beach Alibi. This book is my absolute favorite of this series, so far that is. Kelly John and Emma are perfect for each other, and the sexual heat they exude is a wonderful compliment to the intrigue and suspense in this latest episode about the spy guys of The Smithson Group. Characters from the previous books make appearances, but the characters that we haven't heard much from are a huge attraction as well. I cannot wait for the McKenzie Artifact's release; it looks to promise the edge and intensity that Alison Kent is known for.

Engineering Project Consultant to the Smithson Group, Kelly John Beach realizes he botched the assignment when he failed to notice the camera inside the wall clock that taped his illegal break and entry into Marian Diamonds. He sought proof that the firm was fronting a Spectra operation involving stolen diamonds from Sierra Leone. His espionage associate Tripp Shaunessey suggests he needs an alibi to prove he was elsewhere; the best alibi is a woman.

Risking a sexual harassment case, head of the group Hank Smithson reluctantly asks his assistant Emma Webster to help. She readily agrees and soon learns what she needs to know about these mysterious consultants. Her task is an easy one for her; pretend to be Kelly's lover, a fantasy that she has had since they first met. Kelly shares her deep desire as Emma has been the star of many erotic dreams. As they work on THE BEACH ALIBI, they fall in love. However, "Professor" Oliver Shore of Spectra IT sees Beach's alibi as another pawn in the war with the Smithson Group.

The fourth Smithson Group erotic espionage escapade is a terrific tale that starts with self-effacing profanity, turns into a heated romance, and twists finally into an espionage encounter with an abducted Emma as the trade in. Though the tongue in cheek (literally) story line can be read as a stand alone, THE BEACH ALIBI is more enjoyable to follow after the preceding three stories as previous leads make clever continuous appearances as secondary players. The lead duo and their opponents provide a fine time for fans of I Spy torrid tales with McKenzie up to the plate next.
